The mental health effects of pet death during childhood: Is it better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all? (2020)
Journal Article

Pet ownership is common. Growing evidence suggests children form deep emotional attachments to their pets. Yet, little is known about children’s emotional reactions to a pet’s death. The goal of this study was to describe the relationship between exp...

DNS of secondary flows over oscillating low-pressure turbine using spectral/hp element method (2020)
Journal Article

This paper investigates the secondary vortex flows over an oscillating low-pressure turbine blade using a direct numerical simulation (DNS) method. The unsteady flow governing equations over the oscillating blade are discretized and solved using a sp...

A step-by-step method for producing 3D crania models from CT data (2020)
Journal Article

Objectives: Modern computed tomography (CT) databases offer a valuable resource for obtaining skeletal reconstructions and contemporary population data. However, researchers may not utilise CT data due to limited funds for proprietary modelling softw... Read More about A step-by-step method for producing 3D crania models from CT data.

Evaluation of artificial neural network algorithms for predicting the effect of the urine flow rate on the power performance of microbial fuel cells (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 The Authors Microbial fuel cell (MFC) power performance strongly depends on the biofilm growth, which in turn is affected by the feed flow rate. In this work, an artificial neural network (ANN) approach has been used to simulate the effect of...
